Ex-President Donald Trump is equivocating over the possibility of a second debate with Kamala Harris after his dud display in their first showdown prompted his team and conservative media allies to mount a frantic cleanup operation.

The U.S. in May announced stiff duties on about $18 billion worth of Chinese imports, including EVs, solar cells, lithium batteries, steel and aluminum.

The first presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump drew an estimated 67.1 million viewers across 17 television networks, according to Nielsen data.

Harris’s aides are confident she won Tuesday’s showdown but are looking for more ways to reach swing voters. Trump aides discuss whether a second debate would help or hurt.

Taylor Swift's Instagram post endorsing Harris was just as focused on warning the public about the dangers of AI.

Taylor Swift’s support for Kamala Harris and voter registration will likely have some impact, but not as much as some would hope.

Voters in two swing-state groups assembled by NBC News were more interested in the vice president after seeing the debate. Yet they still had questions they want answered.

Kristen Morris, 60, a nursing student from a suburb outside Charlotte, North Carolina, was deeply disappointed at the start of summer with her presidential choices, but became intrigued when Harris entered the race. After the debate, she said she felt cleareyed and planned to vote for the vice president.

The TV audience for the Harris-Trump matchup was roughly comparable to the second Trump-Clinton debate in 2016.

The Harris campaign called for a second debate shortly after the first one. Trump, however, has been non-committal thus far.
